Amanda Lathlins Private Members Bill Receives Royal Assent

Our MLA Amanda Lathlins private members Bill 213 to support victims of sexual assault in rural and Northern Manitoba received unanimous support in the Manitoba legislature and it received royal assent last week.

 

The bill will allow child and youth victims of sexual assault to have examinations locally instead of being flown to Winnipeg.

 

The bill will also ensure training for nurses in Manitoba so that they can provide these examinations and it will now be easier to provide sexual assault kits.

 

As a mother herself, Lathlin is very grateful that children in rural and Northern Manitoba will receive protection under this bill.
